Pulled Chicken Sandwich

-
As I have mentioned Tanmaya is on a health kick and prefers eating mostly grilled chicken and salad so boneless chicken is abundantly available to my disposal :)
So I keep experimenting with it.
One of my friends Divya used to get pulled chicken sandwich for lunch and I wanted to give it a try. So here we go.


Ingredients:
  1. Chicken Breast: 2 
  2. Onion: 1 medium finely chopped
  3. Ginger garlic Paste: 2 tsp
  4. Green Chili: 2 slit
  5. Tomato: 1 medium finely chopped
  6. Salt as per taste
  7. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
  8. Red chili powder: 1 tsp
  9. Coriander Powder: 1/2 tsp
  10. Chicken curry masala: 1/4 tsp
  11. Vegetable/chicken stock: 1/2 cup
  12. Oil: 2 tsp
  13. Water: 1 cup
Procedure:


In a pressure cooker cook the chicken breasts along with water till 1 whistle.
Let the pressure release automatically.
In a pan heat oil add finely chopped onion and green chili along with a pinch of salt.
Let it cook stirring in between till the onions turn transparent.
Add red chili powder and cook for a noter minute or so.
Add ginger garlic paste, and cook for 2 mins.
Add finely chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt to taste, cover and cook till the tomato is mushy.
Remove the cove and cook the spices for another 2-4 mins till the raw smell of the spices is gone.
In the meanwhile remove the chicken from the cooker and pull it with a fork.
To the masala add the chicken curry masala, pulled chicken and Vegetable/chicken stock.
Cook the pulled chicken for 4-5 mins stirring occasionally.
Stop when all the liquid has dried up but let the chicken remain moist.
It tastes great with naan or rooti.


My main intension was to make pulled chicken sandwich.
So I took 2 slices of bun applied butter and lightly toasted them.
Top it up with a leaf of lettuce, slice of tomato and 4-5 tsp of pulled chicken top it up with the other slice of bread and enjoy!!!!



So do try and let me know how you liked it.
Till then happy blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

Green Papaya Curry

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
